It’s been six years since I escaped the horror I called life.

I was raised in a cult that had forced me to marry a sadistic and evil man. It was absolute hell, but I was finally given a second chance.

I’ve had time to heal and finally find myself, but the last thing I ever wanted or expected was to fall in love. I figured it wasn’t in the cards for me and you can’t miss something you’ve never had or experienced.

But the second I met Konrad, he owned my heart.

It was as if I learned to breathe for the very first time. He came into my life, pushed my barriers, and made it known that I was his. With him, I found my home, my everything.

Until my ex-husband decided that he wanted me back.

We back with another OG biker!!!! I'll start off saying this one had more talk and shown more talk about the cult and human trafficking.. just be warned.

Etta is one of the woman's who was in the cult along with her sister and brother (who one has a story.. and one is coming) she helps goes on missions for the club to bring these girls and woman back safely to the clubhouse, even if she's strong on the field she is shy and skittish around some men because of her pass but she feels some attraction to Konrad a OG brother and him her.. he's there making sure some scum doesn't touch her or get in her zone. And that happens off the bat. Drama at every turn from her abusive pedo ex. We learn more about the cult and who's behind it.. more players are taken down and more wounds are open.

And my heart broke at one scene.. what happened to all those girls, woman who try to escape.. 😭 I do wish there was more scenes dating/romance wise outside of the club for Konrad and Etta this one felt more cult base then the relationship.. I also found it way to easy for the relationship since Etta does have ptsd.. wish there was more struggle with that.

The next gene was announced.. and my body is still waiting for Gage and River

Konrad was wonderful. Whenever I start a new LeAnn Ashers book I always think that the current book can’t possibly be as good as the last one but again I was proven wrong. Konrad was awesome, I will definitely be rereading it.

This book is packed full of how amazing and badass Etta is and how Konrad was so in love with her & supportive of her need to take down the cult once and for all. We got much more in depth than any other book when it came to the cult, and there were so many moments when I was shocked to my core to find out how certain things that have happed were linked. 𝙆𝙤𝙣𝙧𝙖𝙙 was such a great read, and you won’t be able to put it down because you have to know what happens next!

The MCs are always amazing, and the feeling of them all being a big family was shown a ton in this story. Etta’s family is amazing and I may have cried a time or two at how beautiful it was to see everyone around her be so amazing. It just made it so much more amazing of a read because Etta & Konrad had that instant attraction all the MC guys and their Old Ladies have, with the addition of working great together when they had to go on rescues. Konrad was OBSESSED with her, but he never stopped her from being the powerful & in charge woman she has become. I seriously need my own Konrad after reading their story because he had me swooning left and right! There may have been heavy content in the book, but it played out well & we got a sticky sweet ending(insert the heart eye emoji). Pick this one up ASAP!

Trigger warnings: If you’ve read previous books you should already know about the human trafficking situation, the cult the MC is working to take down, and abuse women/men/kids rescued have faced. It’s a sad reality but these things do happen & Leann Ashers writes about these situation in a way that is not insulting or overly in your face.

Etta is an amazing contradiction from the beginning. We see her as a badass woman ready to take on anyone who stops her from helping innocent girls and then she gets flustered by Konrad. Now she may get a little flustered and shy in the romance area but the minute a loved one needs protecting that shyness is out the window. This story starts off with some drama and I love it. It sucks you in right from the start. Konrad is the sweetest and they both are protective over each other and their loved ones. It was great getting to see not only their relationship but the family dynamics between all the characters. This story is action packed and emotional from start to finish. It was a great story and I love how we got to see just how badass all the women of the MC’s are. I can’t wait for more!

Etta was saved from a cult a few years ago by he brother. Konrad was an original mc brother. When they first meet he knows instantly he wants her. Etta has been working for years to help save as many other woman as possible. She has her hard days but Konrad sees her. He will do whatever to keep her safe but she can and does know how to protect herself and others. This is a great read and full of ups and downs. Together they fight her demons and try to rid the world of the cult she grew up in. With two mc's coming together can they save themselves and others? Can she really be free ? Can Etta and Konrad have a normal life together? This series from Leann just keeps getting better and better .

This book was pretty intense. Etta - saved from a cult years ago - has taken on the role of protector for anyone who contacts her and needs help. She kicks butt and dives in head-first whenever and wherever she is needed. Konrad himself is pretty swoon-worthy. Hot and sexy and alpha and willing to do whatever he could to help Etta. The story overall was enjoyable.
But I had a few issues with it unfortunately.
1 - Konrad has never seen Etta before? She was saved 5 years ago and is always at the compound.
2 - That little vacation that Konrad and Etta took. It was weird. It completely pulled you out of the intensity of the story arc and just didn't fit. It would have worked better as an epilogue or something because I felt it was kind of pointless where it was situated.
3 - Konrad mentioned that he hadn't been around and met Etta because his parents are ill and require a nurse. They seemed pretty spry when Etta met them.

Overall the book was enjoyable, just a few plot points that I found jarring. And again this is just my opinion. The book is worth a read and it's always fun to catch up with the other characters - especially Butcher and Shaylin.

I read Konrad in one sitting and I loved it! LeAnn Ashers is one of my top five go to authors. Konrad is Etta's safe place. Everyone of us should have one. He makes her feel loved and safe and they have the beginnings of a beautiful life. Etta trust her heart and her life to Konrad and he takes them with both hands. She is protective of her family and the vulnerable, she would give her life for them. Konrad will protect her from every danger and the MC has his back! Family...........

First off, Etta is badass! I absolutely love this character.

Etta grew up in a terrible life, after her brother saves her and her sister, she is determined to save other women that are just like her.

Konrad sees Etta and knows she is made for him. He quickly learns that she does not need to be saved, but would love a partner to stand by her side.

Konrad has no problem standing next to Etta as she fights to save as many women as she can. In fact, he actually is completely smitten with that fact.

I love the epilogue and can’t wait for more!

This book has Triggers! Be ⚠️ with saying that, the book is the best one yet. Human trafficking is a big industry and it needs to be brought into the spot light. Ms. Ashers does that in this wonderful, heartbreaking story. I love Etta and Konrad together, they are perfect together. This story is very sweet and funny and fast paced. I loved reading every page of this book. ❤

Etta was raised and rescued from a cult and now she saves other girls from cults. Etta is an extremely fiercely independent woman who will not stop until she can help everyone that needs her. Of course she has the best back up you can ask for the Grim Sinners Motorcycle Club. When she finally meets Konrad it’s game on. These two have instant chemistry and a amazing connection. He will lay down his own life to protect her. When the man she was forced to marry as a teenager comes back to claim her, they will stop at nothing to get him away from her. I am A big fan of LeAnn’s writing style and this series is no exception. I not Only love this series but all the characters have a special place in my heart. As each book ends I get Excited for the next book to be released.

Konrad was really good. His a original sinner. So you that his all alpha and protects his girl against the world. Best part is Ettas. broken and left a abusive husband behind now and she wants to help girls like her get out. Ettas not ur typical abuse victim. No sir she's all girls power. She saves herself but she does need someone to come home to. Konrad is her other half.

I couldn’t read this book fast enough! After reading about Etta and her sister getting rescued, I was so excited to find out that they were getting their own books and I devoured this book as soon as I got my hands on it! Etta is very traumatized from her childhood, but instead of slinking back into herself, she has taken the opposite approach in making it known that she is willing and able to help anyone looking to escape unsafe situations. Konrad is an original MC member and somehow the two miss meeting each other until one day, where Etta’s past comes back to haunt her and her family. With the instant connection and feelings between these two, Konrad helps Etta in her mission and together they work to take down the cults while also flourishing in their relationship. These two were so great together, especially with Konrad really giving Etta the ability to be herself and, in the action, while also having a level of alpha male and protection towards her. I was obsessed with this story, and I cannot wait for the next installment!
I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

Etta is such a strong woman, she has used the last six years since Vinny got her out if the cult to make a name for herself, rescuing so many women and children from cults and abductions. Konrad has somehow not met her, but as soon as he does he falls head over heels for her. Que in lots of action, steam and the girls causing havoc and this is just a great story.

Wow, another amazing book. It had everything we wanted, and some Questions answered. I couldn't put book down once started.

I loved Konrad and Etta together, Konrad is patient with Etta and helps her with her past. It was instant attraction when they finally meet. They both help other people in cults.

I can't wait for more.

Etta has been working with her brother saving young girls from a cult that she herself was saved from not so long along ago. Konrad is an MC member she meets who helps occasionally, until he meets Etta, he then makes it his life work to always be with her on her missions to protect her and her workers. Etta has become a tough young woman, but she has her hard days, and Konrad see’s that and he wants to be there for her and after work too.
They make a strong fighting team and the chemistry shines between them.
But will she ever be free from these monsters? Can Etta and Konrad ever have a normal life together? Will they always be fighting the demons?
A very emotional story. This series is a must read!

What a ride! LeAnn, you have done it again. Konrad and Etta’s book was amazing. Full of action, hot swoony alphas & tough ladies that I would be honored to have at my back.
I laughed at the old ladies shenanigans, cried with what some of the women had endured and cheered on the abused women during the payback scene with the bishops!
Its great how you fit so much into your books without dragging everything out for the sake of making books longer. The fact that we get some closure with each couple in their book is awesome. But the bonus is that we get more of all of them when you build onto their lives in each subsequent book.
Thank you for this amazing ride and I am really looking forward to Lynn & Olivia’s stories….

This is one story that will having you losing all track of time. It’s full of heat, action, and alpha men and even fiercer females. The attraction and chemistry between Konrad and Etta will make you want to turn the pages faster. The story keeps you intrigued and hoping for those to get what’s coming to them. I’m hooked on this series and look forward to every release this author has. If you haven’t picked up a story…what are you waiting for?

I loved that he let her be herself and didnt coddle her as much. A must read!!! Keep them coming!!

As always her books are amazing. I loved that you got to see a lot of people from the different series (families) in the book. But I also loved their story and how while she was brave she was also scared. His love helped her. She completed him. I started the book in the evening couldn’t put it down until I was done at 4 in the morning. Loved it. Can’t recommend this book or author enough. Love all her books and have had a few complete rereads.

I absolutely LOVED Konrad and Ellas storyline. If anyone deserved their happily ever after then it’s Ella. She had a horrible childhood but she took that adversity and did something positive. Konrad showed her that she’s worth protecting . Their love makes you believe in love. Bella shows you that no matter how horrible your life starts that it doesn’t have to stay that way

I get so excited when LeAnn Ashers brings out a new book, this time was no different and I was not disappointed.
What a story... Konrad is alpha, sweet and so loving.
Etta is a beautiful soul, with all she went through growing up until she escaped, it can make someone jaded but she is strong, caring and doing everything she can to save others who are trapped and suffering in the situation she was. She's seriously kick ass.
Her and Konrad, along with the rest of the MC guys and girls (who I adore so much) are on a mission to save as many women and children from the cults as they can and giving them a save place to start their lives over.
Leann I'm obsessed 😍 keep bringing me books and never stop ☺

With a name like the Grim Sinners, you may be right in thinking that these bikers are tough and bad, yes they are tough on the outside but soft on the inside, especially when it comes to the women they love and they will stop at nothing to protect them.

Etta was one of the women saved from the cult she was born into, now she spends her days and nights rescuing other girls who find themselves without hope and desperate for escape, but make no mistake Etta could give anyone of the Grim Sinners a run for their money. When Konrad from another chapter meets Etta the attraction between the two is instant and strong, but as the stakes get higher and rescuing the girls more dangerous they will need each other's strength to survive

Another hot but gripping story from LeAnn Ashers.
